About the MGP 641 Multi-Graphic Processor

Features

The Extron MGP 641 is a multi-window processor that scales and presents up to four 4K @ 60 Hz source signals on a single screen. It features advanced Extron Vector 4K scaling technology for high image quality. The HDCP 2.3-compliant processor includes four HDMI 2.0 inputs and an additional HDMI background input for presenting live, non-scaled content behind source windows. HDMI and DTP2 4K @ 60 Hz outputs deliver duplicate signals to local and remote displays. Fully customizable window layouts, logo and video keying, and window transition effects enhance presentation of the source content. Source and output rotation enable use with portrait displays, and audio de-embedding simplifies integration. Configurations can be saved as presets and recalled as needed.

The MGP 641 can be controlled and configured remotely using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands via the RS-232, USB, or Ethernet LAN connections, the Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) via an Ethernet LAN or USB, the MGP 641 embedded web pages, and the front panel buttons and knobs.

• Displays up to four source windows on a single screen with a live or static

background — Simplifies system design by reducing the need for multiple displays.

• Four HDMI 2.0 inputs

• HDMI 2.0 background input — A dedicated, non-scaled input accepts live

background content from an HDMI source.

• HDMI 2.0 and DTP2 outputs — The MGP 641 features one HDMI output and a

duplicate DTP2 output.

• Supports resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 — Supports HDMI 2.0 input and output

signals up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 color sampling.

• Supported HDMI 2.0 specification features include data rates up to 18 Gbps,

Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats

MGP 641 Series • Introduction 1

• Advanced Extron Vector 4K scaling engine — The Vector 4K scaling engine

is specifically designed for critical-quality 4K imagery, with image upscaling and downscaling.

• Multiple window transition effects — Windows can be transitioned into and out of

the window preset using dissolve and cut effects.

• Integrated DTP2 extension supports transmission of 4K @ 60 Hz video up to

330’ (100 m) over a shielded CATx cable

• Compatible with all DTP-enabled products, plus XTP CrossPoint matrix

switchers — Enables mixing and matching with desktop and wallplate endpoints, as well as other DTP and DTP2-enabled products to meet application requirements. The MGP 641 processor can be integrated with XTP and XTP II CrossPoint matrix switchers to provide connectivity between presentation spaces and a larger, facility-wide system.

• DTP2 output is compatible with HDBaseT-enabled devices — The DTP output

can be configured to send video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals to an HDBaseT-enabled display.

• HDCP 2.3 compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and

interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.

• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP

compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation — When HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a

non-HDCP compliant display, green video is sent to the display for immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display.

• Key Minder continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable

switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two or more displays.

• EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected

devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources reliably output content at power up.

• Supports custom EDID and output resolutions — User-defined output resolutions

up to 600 MHz pixel clock can be supported by uploading custom EDID files or capturing EDID from a display or other destination device.

• Logo image keying and display — A logo graphic can be positioned and keyed over

live video. Graphics files in BMP, JPG, PNG, or TIFF format may be uploaded to the unit. Full-screen images up to 4K resolution can also be displayed to eliminate loss of video between presentations. Up to 32 logo images can be stored on the processor.

• Video keying — Title information or other content from any window can be keyed over

lower priority windows or background content.

• Cascade multiple MGP 641 processors for additional windows — Up to four

MGP 641 units can be cascaded via the HDMI 2.0 background input to present up to 16 windows on a single display.

• Fully customizable window layouts — The four windows can be sized, positioned,

and overlapped anywhere on the display, with additional adjustments for image zoom and priority.

• Output rotation — The duplicate HDMI and DTP2 output signals can be rotated

90 degrees, accommodating displays arranged in portrait or landscape orientations.

MGP 641 Series • Introduction 2

• Source rotation — Inputs 2 and 4 can be rotated + or - 90 degrees, providing flexible

and creative presentation options for live content.

window border options include semi-transparent borders and text labels with adjustable size, color, and location.

• 128 window configuration presets — A total of 128 default window presets are

available and customizable to allow quick saving and recall of size, positioning, priority, and border style for each window.

• Window preset effects — Transitions between presets can be set to Cut or Animated.

The Animated effect dynamically resizes and repositions the four windows to the locations determined by a new preset. Duration is adjustable.

• Screen Saver Mode — Can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to the

display device when there are no active connections or logos displayed. The connected display automatically enters standby mode to conserve energy.

• Customizable on-screen clock — A single on-screen clock in a digital time format

can be presented anywhere on screen, with user-definable size, color, time, and date formatting.

• Stereo audio de-embedding — Embedded HDMI two-channel PCM audio can be

extended over the DTP2 output or extracted as balanced or unbalanced stereo audio to the analog outputs.

• Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the image in a window can be controlled

by selecting a fill mode that provides a full window display or a follow mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.

• Front panel controls with LCD display — Back-lit front panel buttons and an LCD

menu system with navigation controls provide quick access to configuration settings.

• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables system configuration without having

to access the rear panel.

Installing the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Brackets

The Extron LockIt lacing brackets make it possible to simply and universally secure a standard HDMI cable to most HDMI devices.

NOTE: The HDMI device must have an HDMI

connection mounting screw for this bracket to be used.

To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection.

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the

panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against

the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI

connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing

bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield to which

it is fastened is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel

elle est attachée est très ﬁn et peut facilement être dénudé.

Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP, XTP, and HDBT Communication

The MGP 641 is compatible with shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable DTP, XTP, or HDBaseT communication.

ATTENTION:

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201

cable to link the device with DTP transmitters or receivers.

• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou

le câble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs DTP.

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and reduce transmission errors.

• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best

performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid

conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,

punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the

following:

• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened,

aligned, and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

RS-232 and IR Signal Insertion

The twisted pair output port allows you to insert RS-232 and IR control signals onto the same cable that carries video and audio to extend them to the Over TP port on a connected endpoint (see figure7 on page12).

A control signal applied to an MGP 641 LAN port can be routed to the RS-232 port of the connected twisted pair device. The RS-232 inputs and outputs inserted via Ethernet can support up to a 115 K baud rate.

When connected to an Ethernet LAN, the MGP can be accessed from a computer running a standard Internet browser. Connect the MGP to a computer, control device, router, or switch (see figure4 on page9 to wire the crossover cable).

The default IP address of the MGP 641 is 192.168.254.254, the default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0, and the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0.

MGP 641 Series • Installation 11

Connecting for Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion

RS-232 Insertion

Figure7 on the next page shows a connection example of an Ethernet to RS-232 insertion,

in which an Extron IPCP Pro control processor provides control of a display via the MGP 641. Configure this type of insertion as follows:

1. Connect a twisted pair cable from the control processor to the MGP 641 LAN port,

directly or via a network.

2. If necessary to match the device to be controlled, use VCS (see the VCS Help File)

or SIS commands (see the Serial Port Configuration commands on page 67) to configure the port RS-232 protocol (baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits).

3. Connect the TP cable from the MGP 641 DTP Out connector to the input of the DTP

endpoint (receiver).

4. Connect a serial cable from the DTP receiver to the device to be controlled.

Port number

For Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, the insertion port number must be stated from a specific universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) start point. This number is entered as the IP port number when you establish communication with the insertion port. The output insertion port number is automatically assigned as 2001 and cannot be changed.

Input Presets

The MGP 641 has 128 input preset slots that are global, containing all of the settings for an input when the MGP 641 is used with an upstream matrix switcher. Input presets allow a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs to be connected to the MGP 641 to expand the number of input video sources.

Each input should be switched into the MGP 641, configured (size, position, and preset name), then saved as a preset for recall by the control system when that input is sent from the switcher to any of the four MGP inputs.

Input presets can be saved and recalled using VCS (see the VCS Help File) or by SIS commands (see the Input Presets commands on page57).

The following settings are contained in the input presets:

• Input type

• Input name

• Image position

• Image size

• Window size (for reference)

Image size and position are saved based on the percentage of the window filled, so the preset can be used for the input in any window size. Therefore, the preset can be saved from any window and the saved size and position is scaled proportionally when recalled in another window.

Preset #13Preset #14Preset #15

MGP 641 Series • Operation 18

Picture Controls

When an input preset is recalled to a window, it fills the window based on the sizing and positioning that the preset had at the time that it was saved. For example, if a video source had been zoomed into when it was saved as a full screen window, it is still displayed zoomed in if it is recalled to a smaller window.

Since all inputs are digital, input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different input rate. This enables presets to be used to set aspect ratio or for other quick sizing shortcuts.

The MGP 641 has four picture control buttons located on the front panel to the left of the Preset Recall/Save and Enter buttons. Use these buttons to adjust horizontal and vertical size, horizontal and vertical position, Auto Image, and magnified focus (zoom).

NOTE: Picture controls are window-dependent. The values

must be set separately for each window.

• Pressing a Picture Control button once displays the picture control for the selected

window on the LCD screen. While the control is displayed, pressing any of the other window buttons displays the picture control settings for that window.

• For the Window/Image Size, Window/Image Position, and Window/Image Zoom,

buttons, press the button repeatedly to switch between window settings and image settings.

The selected window displays a blinking blue border, whether or not a border is enabled for that window.

• Aspect Ratio — Select the aspect ratio of the image relative to the window in which it

is displayed. The options are:

• Fill — Each input signal fills its entire window (default).

• Follow — Each input signal is displayed with its native aspect ratio.

• HDCP Authorize — Select On (default) or Off. This option lets you disable HDCP

communication on discrete inputs.

For source devices that require encryption, select On to enable HDCP authorization. This setting is useful for devices such as Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, and some Windows sources that always encrypt their output, regardless of whether they are displaying HDCP content, if the downstream sink is capable of HDCP. By not allowing HDCP signals on an input, the MGP can pass most content from these sources as a non-encrypted signal to analog and digital video outputs.

When HDCP authorization is disabled, the window displaying an encrypted source does not display content that requires HDCP. Instead, the window displays either a black screen or a warning message generated by the source.

MGP 641 Series • Operation 23

NOTE: All windows must not be displaying HDCP content for the MGP output to

not be encrypted.

• Image Rotate — This option enables you to rotate the individual inputs 90 degrees

To display an image in the foreground, background, or at a desired location on a window, you can recall a previously configured logo preset.

To recall an image:

1. From the Image/Logo Configuration menu, press Next repeatedly until the desired

image type is displayed on the LCD screen. Available selections are:

• Window Logo — Displays an image scaled to fit the selected window (any size or

proportion) to which it is recalled, while obeying the aspect ratio setting for the window. This image replaces the active video in the window.

NOTE: All image keying parameters configured via VCS as part of the logo

preset are applied to the image when it is scaled in a window (see the VCS Help File to configure logos).

MGP 641 Series • Operation 29

• Foreground Logo — Displays an unscaled image in front of any other window

content. Using VCS, you can position the foreground logo anywhere on the screen and apply a logo key effect to it if desired (see the VCS Help File). When a foreground logo in the selected window is changed or muted, it cuts to the new logo image.

• Background Logo — Displays an unscaled, static background image. Recalled

background images are always centered regardless of whether they are smaller or larger than the output raster.

2. Rotate either Adjust knob to scroll through the numbers of the user-defined logo

presets until the desired one is displayed, or:

• If no presets have been defined, the only option (other than None) is

[unassigned].

• Select None to display no images in the selected position (foreground, background,

or in the window). Selecting None, then pressing Next removes the current logo image from the selected position.

3. Press Next. Depending on your selection in step 2, the following appears on the LCD

screen:

• If None or the same logo is selected, the LCD screen displays the next item on the

• Test pattern selections persist through a power cycle.

• Upstream Switch — Enables selection of a transition effect to be used when the signal

from an upstream matrix switcher is lost and when it is restored. All fade switch effects have a duration of 0.5 seconds. Available effects are:

• Cut thru Black — The video in the window immediately mutes to black when the

signal is lost and cuts to the new signal when it is restored (default).

• Fade thru Black — The window freezes the last solid frame before the signal was

lost and fades the image to black. The window fades in the new signal when it is restored.

• Seamless Cut — The window freezes the last solid frame before the signal was lost

and seamlessly cuts to the new signal when it is restored. If no signal is applied for 8 seconds, the image within the window cuts to black.

• Seamless Dissolve — The window freezes the last solid frame before the signal

was lost and performs a seamless dissolve to the new signal when it is applied. If no signal is applied for 8 seconds, the image within the window fades to black.

• Low Latency Mode — The window attempts to display the new signal as quickly

as possible. Two frames of video delay are also removed from the video processing logic of the MGP, which may introduce video artifacts during the switch transition.

MGP 641 Series • Operation 32

• Auto Layout mode — Enables or disables Auto Layout mode. This mode automatically

configures the window layout to full screen, side by side, pyramid, or quad arrangement (see figure19), based on which windows have an active signal or logo preset. When a signal is newly detected or removed, the MGP rearranges the windows accordingly using the defined window preset effect.

Figure 19. Auto Layout Mode Window Configurations

The layouts in figure19 are not part of the 128 available window presets and the combination of windows being displayed is not fixed. For example, layout B can include windows 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, or 3 and 4. The same applies to layouts C and D.

If no signal is present and Auto Layout is enabled, all windows are muted and the screen saver is displayed.

While the MGP is in Auto Layout mode, the front panel remains unlocked and any desired changes can be made. However, these changes may be overwritten once the status on any of the four inputs changes.

• Internal Temperature screen — Displays the current internal temperature of the unit

temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius. This is an information-only screen and no adjustments can be made to it.

• Factory Reset — Resets the unit to its factory default values (removing any

user-specified values) while retaining all network settings. From this screen, press the Auto-Image button to initiate the reset. When the reset is complete, the LCD screen displays the default cycle.

NOTE: The equivalent SIS command is E ZXXX }. This command does not affect

the current password, including the initial factory-set serial number.

Additional Functions

HDCP Authorization

The HDCP Authorized function allows the MGP 641 HDMI inputs to be able to report as an HDCP authorized sink or a non-HDCP authorized sink (display) device to a source device. This is especially useful for sources that encrypt their output even if the source material does not require HDCP encryption, which would then prevent content from being displayed on non-HDCP compliant displays.

For example, if you wanted to show a non-HDCP protected presentation from a PC using the HDMI output of the PC, there is a chance that the PC may encrypt the HDMI, because it can see that the MGP 641 HDMI input supports HDCP authorization. If you were going to send only the HDMI output of the MGP 641 to a display (sink) that supported HDCP, there would be no problem. However, if you wanted to use the MGP analog output to an analog sink, the green HDCP notification screen would be displayed, due to the source unnecessarily enabling encryption on its HDMI output.

Disabling HDCP authorization on one of the MGP 641 HDMI inputs ensures that the PC with non-HDCP protected content determines that the signal path does not support HDCP, and therefore does not encrypt its output. With HDCP authorization disabled on the MGP input, you are able to view your non-HDCP protected content from the video output of the MGP 641. With HDCP authorization enabled on an input, if HDCP protected content is selected on the source, the source either simply mutes its video output to black, or displays a warning message.

HDCP authorization is available also via SIS commands (see the HDCP Authorization

commands on page48 or via VCS (see the VCS Help File).

Remote Configuration and Control

The MGP 641 can be configured and controlled via Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands when connected to a host computer or other device (such as a control system). Attach the host device to the rear panel RS-232 connector or LAN connector, or to the front panel USB port. The default protocol for the RS-232 connection is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics in this section include:

• Host and Processor Communication

• SIS Overview

• Command and Response Table for MGP 641 SIS Commands

• Command and Response Table for IP SIS Commands

• Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) Program

Host and Processor Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the MGP determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the MGP to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Connecting the MGP to the host

Use one of the following methods to establish communication between the host and the MGP:

• RS-232 — Connect the unit to the host via the rear panel Remote RS-232 connector.

To enter SIS commands, use a communication utility such as Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com.

• Ethernet — Ensure the unit is connected to the host via the rear panel LAN port. To

enter SIS commands, use a secure communication utility that supports Secure Shell (SSH). Enter the MGP IP address where requested and use 22023 as the port number.

• Ethernet over USB — Connect the host to the front panel USB Config port. To enter

SIS commands, use a secure communication utility that supports Secure Shell (SSH). Enter 203.0.113.22 for the IP address where requested and 22023 as the port number.

MGP 641 Series • Remote Configuration and Control 38

To log in to the MGP via Ethernet or Ethernet over USB:

• User name = admin

• Password = {unit serial number} if the unit is new, extron if the unit has had an

absolute system reset.

NOTE: Performing a unit factory reset (entering a ZQQQ (Absolute system

reset) SIS command or a mode 5 reset via the rear panel Reset button)

changes the serial number password to extron.

• USB — (Ethernet over USB) Connect the unit to the host via the front panel USB Config

port. To enter SIS commands, use a secure communications utility that supports Secure Shell (SSH).

Where requested by the communications software, enter the information for USB connections:

• Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes

• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248

• Default DHCP server address (Ethernet over the MGP 641 USB port):

Password Messages

If the MGP 641 is protected by a password, the following password message prompts you for the password to access the MGP features.

]

Password

The prompt requires a password, followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.

• For initial setup — The factory-configured passwords for all accounts on the MGP

have been set to the device serial number. Passwords are case-sensitive.

This means that, for initial setup, you must enter the serial number of your unit at the password prompt (the serial number can be found on a label on the rear panel). This password allows administrator level access.

If the correct password is entered, access is granted and the command prompt is displayed. If the password is incorrect, the ]Password] prompt reappears.

• After initial access — You can keep the serial number password or change it. You can

also set administrator and user level passwords (see Passwords on page72).

NOTE: Performing a unit factory reset (entering an EZQQQ} [Absolute system

]

reset] SIS command or a mode 5 reset via the rear panel Reset button) converts

the serial number password to extron.

MGP 641 Series • Remote Configuration and Control 39

When you enter the new password correctly, the unit responds with one of the following, depending on the password entered:

]

•

]

•

(If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.)

The Login Administrator response represents administrator level access, while the Login User response represents user level access. If the passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.

If the unit is not password-protected, it is ready to accept SIS commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.

NOTE: In verbose response mode, the MGP

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:19:33

X1$ ]

responds with more information than it usually would. For example, the MGP can send out a notice of a change in some setting without receiving a query via your PC. That change could have been a result of an internal process (a script execution), a selection made using a touchpanel or keypad, a change made using GV or a web page, or input from a connected sensor or switch.

That is an example of a verbose (wordy) relationship between the MGP and a connected device. Verbose mode creates more network trafﬁc than usual, which can slow down network performance.

MGP 641 Series • Remote Configuration and Control 72

Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) Program

The Extron VCS program is a PC-based program for the MGP 641 that provides a convenient way to configure the processor. System configuration is broken down into logical tasks, including output and wall configuration, source setup, window preset design, and EDID Minder. Online and offline editing allows creation and configuration of systems with or without an MGP 641 connected.

Window presets are created by dragging and dropping sources onto a virtual representation of the videowall. Offline configuration allows for videowall configuration files to be created when the MGP is temporarily unavailable.

Downloading VCS from the Website

To use the Videowall Configuration Software, download the latest version of the program from the Extron web page and install it on the PC that is to be connected to the MGP, as described in the following sections. You can also download updates to VCS as they become available. To access the software:

1. On the Extron website, hover the mouse pointer over the Download tab (see figure23,

), then move the pointer to the Software link (2) in the Downloads column and

click it.

Best Practices for Cleaning Your Extron Products

Depending on the device, application, and location, there may be times when it becomes necessary to clean your Extron product. Frequently touched devices, such as touchscreens and button panels, require regular cleaning to ensure their surfaces remain sanitary. Plastic surfaces and cosmetic finishes can be damaged by long term exposure to chemicals. Therefore, Extron recommends the following guidelines when cleaning our products.

All Extron products can be safely cleaned with:

• 70% concentration or higher Isopropyl Alcohol

• Disinfectant cleaners that:

• Are non-ammonium based (for example, contains no ammonium chloride).

• Contain 2% or less sodium hypochlorite (for example, 2% bleach, 98% water).

Regardless of the device, it is important to follow these general guidelines when cleaning:

1. If possible, unplug the device.

2. Spray the cleaner on a lint-free cloth until the cloth is damp.

3. Do not spray the cleaner directly onto the product.

4. Gently clean the product surface using the cloth.

Your health and safety are an Extron priority. Keeping devices clean, especially those in high-traffic environments and high-use applications, is a crucial step in minimizing the spread of infections. Please contact Extron if you have any questions about the guidelines outlined in this section or if you have a question about cleaning a specific Extron product.

MGP 641 Series • Reference Information 89

Mounting the MGP 641

Tabletop Use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP 641. For tabletop use, attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.

Rack Mounting

The MGP 641 can be mounted to a standard 19-inch rack shelf. Mounting kits are available at www.extron.com. To mount the unit, see the instructions provided with the kit.

UL guidelines for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the MGP 641 into a rack:

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed

or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the MGP in an environment compatible

with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 ºF, +50 ºC) specified by Extron.

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required

for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading

does not create a hazardous condition.

• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the

connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment.

Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Updating the Firmware

Determining the Firmware Version

Updates to the Extron MGP 641 Multi-Graphic Processor firmware are made available periodically via the Extron website. If the need arises, you can replace the MGP 641 main firmware via an IP connection without opening the unit.

There are three ways to check which version of firmware the MGP 641 is using: view the front panel LCD window during power-on, the Firmware panel of the MGP 641 embedded web page, or the Device Settings tab in VCS.
